Subject syllabus documents for 2025 are available on the various module pages below.

We review the Associate and Fellow subjects each year to ensure our qualifications reflect current actuarial best practice and the future needs of the profession.

For the 2025 syllabi, where appropriate:

  • content has also been redrafted to better support international and neurodiverse candidates,
  • the order of topics/sub-topics have been adjusted to ensure a more logical learning pathway which better supports development of a candidate’s knowledge and skills,
  • topic weightings have been refreshed to reflect the volume of syllabus content and key assessment priorities,
  • for all pre-Fellowship subjects problem-solving topics have been moved into the assessment sections as they relate to learning outcomes rather than learning objectives.
